In this episode, we're talking about the thing nobody prepares you for: bringing a newborn home and realizing motherhood doesn't feel the same for everyone.

One of us felt that instant, overwhelming connection. The other was sitting there wondering why everyone else seemed obsessed while she felt anxious, disconnected, and honestly kind of terrified. We get into postpartum anxiety, C-sections, birth trauma, and the pressure to act like you're immediately living in a diaper-commercial fantasy.

We also talk about how social media has convinced everyone that good moms instantly bond with their babies, and why that's just not true for a lot of women. If your connection took time, if the newborn stage felt hard, or if you've ever felt guilty for not loving every second of motherhood, this episode is for you.

And because we can never stay on one topic for too long, we also get into husband venting, life updates, and what happens when you suddenly have an empty house for the first time in years.

Basically: motherhood is weird, nobody knows what they're doing, and we're talking about all of it. Tune in!!

Father's Day is Sunday, which means it's time for moms everywhere to wander around stores pretending we know what dads actually want. In this episode of It's Mom O'Clock, we hit up DICK'S Sporting Goods and Home Depot to investigate the mysterious world of dad gifts, from golf clubs and jerseys to grills, leaf blowers, and things with way too many buttons. Along the way, we checked out some bags, got distracted by random aisles, and questioned why every dad eventually develops strong opinions about coolers and lawn equipment. We also debate whether a "family gift" is actually a gift for dad or just something everyone ends up using. If you're still trying to figure out what to buy the father figures in your life, consider this your unofficial shopping guide. Come laugh with us while we attempt to crack the dad code.

In this episode of Mom O’Clock, we are discussing mental health and the warning signs that are often missed. We just watched Netflix’s The Crash, and we chatted about the tragic case involving Mackenzie Shirilla and the heartbreaking events that shocked families across the country. We explore how emotional struggles, unhealthy relationship dynamics, and social media influence can impact teenagers and young adults. As moms, we talk about the challenges of recognizing red flags, having difficult conversations, and supporting our children through mental health struggles.

Grab your iced coffee or your vodka, because it’s Mom O’Clock! This week, Emily and Dom are tackling a major parenting debate: Are sleepovers officially cancelled? After surviving a wild Memorial Day weekend with a 15-person multi-family sleepover and one massive hangover, the girls are getting 100% real about their overnight boundaries.

They take a hilarious trip down memory lane to their own 90s childhood sleepovers, from Dream Phone to sneaking high school boyfriends past strict dads. But when it comes to raising kids today, the vibe is totally different. The hosts dish on why they have major hesitation about sleepovers and how they protect their kids using secret text code words, safety emojis, and early conversations about body autonomy. Plus, they share why they will always fight to be the ultimate "hosting house" so they can keep an eye on everything. It is loud, honest, and very real!

This week, we’re diving into the wild reality of modern parenting and asking the question every mom secretly thinks about: are we protecting our kids… or accidentally turning our homes into full-time surveillance systems? From cameras in every room to a baby monitor and pure trust, we’re breaking down our completely opposite parenting setups and the chaos that comes with both.

We’re sharing insane real-life stories, including a stroller AirTag that exposed a caregiver taking a child somewhere without permission, and a nanny cam that completely cleared a babysitter after a toddler made up a story. We also get into the big debate: when do bedroom cameras cross the line from safety to straight-up invasion of privacy? Plus, our kids will never know the thrill of sneaking out, skipping school, or getting away with literally anything because the cameras always catch everything.

Modern parenting is exhausting, hilarious, and very well documented.

We finally upgraded to a new studio, and the team almost gave Dom a heart attack. Now that we're settled in, we’re doing a quick Mother’s Day recap (shoutout to Emily’s husband for deep cleaning) and tackling the ultimate holiday ethics question: Is it ever acceptable to return a gift from your kids?

Since the community is growing, we’re also reintroducing ourselves. We're breaking down who we were before kids took over our lives. From Dom’s corporate sales and competitive dance days to Emily’s master's degree and early intervention background. We’re getting honest about our paths to motherhood, including Emily’s chaotic reality of surviving three kids under three, Dominique’s battle with severe postpartum anxiety after having her son in 2024, and how we met our husbands.

We finally left the studio (and the kids) for our first-ever live event to celebrate one year of Mom O’ Clock. For our anniversary special, we’re getting into the stuff people usually only whisper about. We’re sharing how a corporate career and stay-at-home life collided to create this show, while getting honest about the hard parts: postpartum depression, the loneliness of being a stay-at-home parent, and why *fine* is usually a lie.

Since we were live, we put our husbands in the hot seat for a round of Truth or Dare that probably should have stayed off the record. From risky texts and embarrassing mom fails to birth trauma and finding your identity again, we’re answering your burning questions and celebrating the hardest job in the world. Whether you’re hiding in the pantry or you actually managed to pour a drink, join us for the anniversary. It’s Mom O’ Clock somewhere, and this time we’re doing it live.
